Narayanan Krishnan was living the good life in his hometown of Madurai, India, working as a chef at a five-star hotel. But one day he encountered a desperately poor old man living on the streets, and decided he could no longer go about life without doing something for the poor and needy in his city.
So Narayanan started Akshaya Trust, a small volunteer organization in Madurai that feeds 500 sick and homeless people breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day of the year. He started the project with his own personal savings, and has fed almost two million people since 2003.
Narayanan's deep and genuine love for the people he serves is awesome to behold. Watch BYUtv this Wednesday at 10:30pm ET/8:30pm MT for a new episode of Turning Point, featuring Akshaya Trust.
